Problem: How do I force a Windows 9x network login and prevent the user from pressing the ESC key to bypass?

Solution:

Your machine must be part of a Windows NT domain for this tweak to work, as the user must be authenticated by the network.

Open your registry and find the key below.

Create a new DWORD value, or modify the existing value, called "MustBeValidated" and set it to equal "1" to require successful authentication.

Restart Windows for the change to take effect.

Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Network\Logon]
Value Name: MustBeValidated
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Data: (0 = disabled, 1 = enabled)
